When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise.

Fujitsu Network Communications Inc., a Richardson, Texas-based, IT and
networking service provider, today announced a optical network management solution that combines its NETSMART 1500 Element Management System (EMS) and its
PRIMEPOWER 650 server. This bundled offering is aimed at telecommunication service providers and Multiple System
Operators (MSOs).
According to Fujitsu it has more than 300,000 DWDM and SONET network elements deployed in North America. Service providers, it reports, can use NETSMART 1500 software to manage those elements. The current version of NETSMART 1500 includes features designed to reduce the time to provision circuit connections and provides network management teams with the capability to manage existing
connections and perform alarm correlation.
"A certification process conducted at the Fujitsu
software development facility proved that
NETSMART 1500 software will perform flawlessly and maintain full
functionality when used with the PRIMEPOWER 650 server," said Steve
Pelosi, vice president of network operations planning with Fujitsu
Network Communications.
Pelosi added that Fujitsu will use PRIMEPOWER servers at its
Richardson, Texas, and San Jose, Calif., facilities to support
customer deployments and continue to certify the servers with new
releases of NETSMART 1500 software.
The PRIMEPOWER family of servers are SPARC-compliant Solaris-compatible
servers and are designed to handle high system utilization and peak load situations.
The NETSMART 1500 EMS allows carriers to manage, provision and
maintain up to 8,000 SONET or WDM network elements from a single
server.
This integrated solution includes a suite of element management features for quick and efficient turn-up of Ethernet, WDM, ATM and SONET services. Recent enhancements include a
new connection manager that uses advanced algorithms to identify
unused network bandwidth, determine optimal circuit paths, preview
proposed routes to allow circuit parameter changes and path
adjustments, and implement connections.
According to Fujitus, NETSMART 1500 software includes a high-availability system that provides continuous network visibility during server maintenance and
full protection in the event of a catastrophic failure. Information
stored on a primary server is mirrored to a secondary server. This is designed to
gives users flexibility by allowing a secondary server to be
collocated or separately located and connected via a Wide Area Network
(WAN) for maximum protection in the event of a disaster.
Additional security features are designed to allow Network Operations Center (NOC) personnel to instantly access and update the security databases of thousands of
network elements. An enhanced Product Change Notification (PCN)
reporting capability is also included that allows carriers to
instantly locate equipment in their networks when hardware updates are
required.
